That's large for an svchost. Please go to Task Manager, Processes tab.
Note the PID of the svchost process that's that large (you might have to add
PID to the view). Open a CMD prompt and type "tasklist /svc" without the
quotes. Find that PID and post back what it says is running under that
svchost process.
If the svchost process in question includes wuauserv, I'm thinking you might
be seeing this problem:
The Automatic Updates service may stop responding

However, the fix is probably this one:
FIX: When you run Windows Update to scan for updates that use Windows
Installer, including Office updates, CPU utilization may reach 100 percent
for prolonged periods
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916089/en-us
because as Susan Bradley points out, the latter contains a more recent
version than the former.

Thanks Dave,
I'm going to need to do a reboot here, as I can't even open up the
Task Manager in it's present state. On initial startup, all services
are less than 100,000k with svchost.exe clocking in at arond 91,000k.
After a while, however, the following services are the largest 5:
1. sqlservr.exe (137,956k) - This is the instance of sql that is
running the firewall. This seems to grow as large as possible before
shutting down other services
2. AntingenRealtime.exe (166,552k)
3. w3wp.exe (73,344k)
4. AntigenInternet.exe (62,872k)
5. AntigenInternet.exe (62,244k)
There are 70 total processes running with multiple instances of
AntigenRealtime, AntigenInternet, mmc, sqlservr, svchost, winlogon,
and wmiprvse.
I have removed everything else that seemed to be greater than 100,000k
including Antigen's StarEngine7 (spam filter), have increased and
decreased page file sizes, and the problem persists. The page file
size will expand until it gets up around or at 100% of what is alloted
and then other services don't work correctly. For example, when
opening up task manager, I'll get a limited set of it's functions or
it won't open at all until I reboot. Sometimes exchange goes down,
sometimes remote access, sometimes other things. These are sometimes
resolved by restarting their respective services, but sometimes there
isn't enough memory to restart.
There are plenty of events that show u in the Event Viewer, so I can
pull down more specific data from that if need be. Any ideas? Thanks
in advance,
Seth

I would diagnose this before changing the configuration of anything. In
particular, you should never attempt to limit memory usage by Exchange
Server.
I'd start with the event logs - anything in any of them that helps?
In Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and sort on "Mem Usage." What
processes are using over 100,000 K of RAM?
